ecryptfs: fix memory corruption when storing crypto info in xattrs
When ecryptfs allocates space to write crypto headers into, before copying
it out to file headers or to xattrs, it looks at the value of
crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front to determine how much space it
needs. This is also used as the file offset to the actual encrypted data,
so for xattr-stored crypto info, the value was zero.
So, we kzalloc'd 0 bytes, and then ran off to write to that memory.
(Which returned as ZERO_SIZE_PTR, so we explode quickly).
The right answer is to always allocate a page to write into; the current
code won't ever write more than that (this is enforced by the
(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - offset) length in the call to
ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set). To be explicit about this, we now send
in a "max" parameter, rather than magically using PAGE_CACHE_SIZE there.
Also, since the pointer we pass down the callchain eventually gets the
virt_to_page() treatment, we should be using a alloc_page variant, not
kzalloc (see also 7fcba054373d5dfc43d26e243a5c9b92069972ee)

The commit (in linux-tip) c2931e05ec5965597cbfb79ad332d4a29aeceb23
( ftrace: return an error when setting a nonexistent tracer )
added useful code that would error when a bad tracer was written into
the current_tracer file.
But this had a bug if the amount written was more than the amount read by
that code. The first iteration would set the tracer correctly, but since
it did not consume the rest of what was written (usually whitespace), the
userspace utility would continue to write what was not consumed. This
second iteration would fail to find a tracer and return -EINVAL. Funny
thing is that the tracer would have already been set.
This patch just consumes all the data that is written to the file.

any kind of bugs. For example - e.g. shrink_zone can call
ptep_clear_flush_young while enable_sie is running. ptep_clear_flush_young
will test for context.pgstes. Since enable_sie changed that value of the old

This chip is found on Promise's FastTrak TX2650 (2 port) and TX4650 (4 port)
software-based RAID cards (for which there is a binary driver, t3sas) and
can be found on some motherboards, for example the MSI K9A2 Platinum,

Although this controller also supports SAS devices, its default bootup mode
is AHCI and the binary driver has to do some magic to get the chip into the
appropriate mode to drive SAS disks.
Seeing as no documentation is provided by Promise, adding this entry to the
ahci driver allows the controller to be useful to people as a SATA
controller (with no ill effects on the system if a SAS disk is connected -
probing of the port just times out with "link online but device
misclassified"), without having to resort to using the binary driver. Users
who require SAS or the proprietary software raid can get this functionality
using the binary driver.

scsi: make sure that scsi_init_shared_tag_map() doesn't overwrite existing map
Right now callers have to check whether scsi_host->bqt is already
set up, it's much cleaner to just have scsi_init_shared_tag_map()
does this check on its own.

MIPS: TXx9: Make firmware parameter passing more robust
When booting Linux on a txx9 board with VxWorks boot loader, it crashes in
prom_getenv(), as VxWorks doesn't pass firmware parameters in a0-a3 (in my
case, the actual leftover values in these registers were 0x80002000,
0x80001fe0, 0x2000, and 0x20).
Make the parsing of argc, argv, and envp a bit more robust by checking if
argc is a number below CKSEG0, and argv/envp point to CKSEG0.
Remove runtime db_* macros as we don't need them any more. In general,
such helpers are useful for initial porting, but once approved, they are
not indispensable.
- Move EMMA related stuff into arch/mips/emma/Kconfig
- Create CONFIG_SOC_EMMA* to handle more EMMA SoCs effectively
- Rename CONFIG_MARKEINS into CONFIG_NEC_MARKEINS
MIPS: Add CONFIG_CPU_R5500 for NEC VR5500 series processors
We already have sufficient infrastructure to support VR5500 and VR5500A
series processors. Here's a Makefile support to make it selectable by
ports, and enable it for NEC EMMA2RH Markeins board.
This patch also fixes a confused target help, and adds 1Gb PageMask bits
supported by VR5500 and its variants.

MIPS: Add support for NXP PNX833x (STB222/5) into linux kernel
The following patch add support for the NXP PNX833x SOC. More
specifically it adds support for the STB222/5 variant. It fixes
the vectored interrupt issue.

INPUT: sgi_btns: Add license specification
The SGI Volume Button interface driver uses GPL-only symbols
platform_driver_unregister and platform_driver_register, but
lacks license specification. Thus, when compiled as a module,
this driver cannot be installed. This patch fixes this by
adding the MODULE_LICENSE() specification.
